I have a side yard that is adjacent to woods with a chain link fence on the border. Next to the chain link fence in the middle section is an angle iron in the ground, with power and an electrical box that was used for tree lighting. That light was removed a while ago and its dark in that area now. I want to put up a camera facing that area but figure i need some lighting. I wanted some suggestions of what kind of light i can put there that would light up my yard but not the woods as I don't want to drive the wildlife away. The only thing i can think of is attach some sort of pole to the angle iron and put a light at the top of it with the back closed so that no light goes towards the woods. Anyone done something like this and have some pictures to share? Or any lights built specifically for this situation?
The other options is to just record in the dark and rely on the light that comes from motion sensing flood lights I have in the area. Honestly that might be enough as I am in a relatively safe neighborhood. But I wanted to know what my options are regarding having some light there since I already have the power wires in that area.
